In this complex world, science, the scientific method, and the consequences of the scientific method are central to everything the
human race is doing and to wherever we are going. If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science; if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.

I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them.

My latter schooldays and my university days were during the war, when science - physics, in particular - was a very important and glamorous subject. A lot of us felt that if we couldn't get into science, we might try engineering or medicine.

That subject has lost its one time appeal to economists as our science has become more abstract, but my interest has even grown more intense as the questions raised by the sociology of science became more prominent.

Relativism is neither a method of fighting, nor a method of creating, for both of these are uncompromising and at times even ruthless; rather, it is a method of cognition.

Just Wondering
A night warning
As day closes the mortal door
Behind this world-lies another
Dreamers claim beneath the covers...
The senses sleep
While memory and experience
Mingle together like lovers
Recombining One with Other...
And paradox
Is not fantasy or contradiction
It is the method which ascends
Nature and reason here to bend....
Keeper of immortality,
Are we given this probation
To know impossibility
Is but human>
